Juvenile Charges in New Jersey
Individuals under the age of 18 may still be charged as an adult if the allegations meet certain criteria. Parents should never allow their kids to speak with law enforcement without the presence of competent and experienced legal counsel. Remember, like on TV, anything you say against yourself can and will be used against you at the time of trial. Often, the worst evidence in any case is the statement or evidence provided directly by the Defendant to the police.
There are many diversionary programs available to juveniles to minimize the impact of any charges on the juvenile’s future. Some of these programs are available even before the juvenile has been formally charged with an offense. So, if there was an incident or law enforcement has contacted the parents or guardians of a juvenile, it is important to have an attorney right away. Kraminsky Law is fully familiar with these programs and often seeks to take advantage of these programs early on in the process.
